“Over the course of the past week, Happay let go of more than 150 employees. It involved multiple teams, including engineers working on products and operations, marketing, and so on.

The employees who were let go have been offered a severance package consisting of the equivalent of three months’ pay and health insurance.

Some media sources attempted to contact CRED to verify the same information. The company did not provide a statement regarding the latest development.

A number of workers also made the announcement of their layoffs on the professional networking website LinkedIn.
